Soon enough I wake to find myself comfortably sat in the passengers side of someone's car.
Oh shit.
My once drunken body was now completely sober due to the anxiety that coursed through me at the speed of lightning.
Where the fuck am I?
I look out the truck window and it's dark out. Like midnight dark out, I feel around the seat in search for my phone.
Fuck, I lost it.
Remind me to not drink anymore.
I reach down and untie my Docs before carefully slipping them off and reaching for the door handle.
I swiftly push the handle open and start to run as fast as I can. Docs in hand.
"Hey! Where the hell do you think you're going!" I hear a man yell.
It all comes flooding back.
Caelum and Kat.
Strange man offering me a ride.
Fuck, could past Astra at least be considerate enough to keep her phone for future Astra?
I continue running on a paved sidewalk until I start to see road signs.
None of them look familiar.
I continue on down the street until I trip over my own foot and fall on my side.
"Shit!" I yell.
I push myself up off of the sidewalk and start walking again, at a slower pace than before.
As I make my way down the unfamiliar street named Cardinal Avenue, I see a porch light beaming.
It burns my eyes to say the least, but I make my way up to it.
I knock viscously on the screen door.
"Hello! Is anyone home!" I shout.
Someone comes to the door and opens it abruptly.
"Betty?" Holy shit did I just get lucky?
"Astra what the hell are you doing at my front door. It's 2 in the morning."
Shit.
"Long story short I need a ride home. I'll do anything." I beg.
She shoots me a look of disappointment and motions for me to come inside.
I enter the warm home and my body immediately turns to putty.
Betty catches me, "Woah girly pop, don't fall now." She pulls me over to her couch and sits me down onto it.
"I'm sorry I just don't feel good and I really want to go home." I reply.
"That's okay Hunny, just give me a second to put my dog in his crate and I'll get you on home."
